PE/Sport studies (Y7-11)
Through a broad and balanced programme, students will be taught to be physically active, developing co-ordination, control and body management. Students will be encouraged to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle through participation in, and enjoyment of, a variety of activities and environments.
Physical Education is about developing the whole person. We have developed a curriculum that is moving away from purely a games-based curriculum and has the student at the heart of the planning. This curriculum is called “ME in PE” and is centred around 4 key themes. They are the following:
- Cognitive (Thinking ME, Creative ME) - The cognitive domain refers to tactics, mental capacity, decision making and evaluation.
- Physical (Physical ME) - The physical domain refers to the physical literacy and movements of the body.
- Healthy (Healthy ME) - The healthy domain refers to the choosing of healthy behaviours
- Social (Social ME) - The social domain refers to communications, teamwork, management, behaviour, emotions and leadership.
